Who Should I Start? Saquon Barkley or Devin Singletary

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley set his season high for touches in a game last week against the Packers, carrying the ball four times and hauling in two catches. This resulted in 34 total yards, which is also his best in a single game this year. Philly's backfield has been tough to keep track of through the first 10 weeks, as Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon have rotated between the lead backup role behind Saquon Barkley. While Bigsby shined with over 100 rushing yards in Week 8, he got only 12.7% of offensive snaps against Green Bay compared to Shipley's 19%. Regardless of who gets the bulk going forward, Shipley is best left out of lineups this week against the Lions and should be rostered as a handcuff at best.

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary took the backseat to Tyrone Tracy Jr. in Week 10's loss to the Bears, but was productive playing 34.3% of snaps, handling 11 touches for 73 yards from scrimmage. Singletary outsnapped Tracy 31 to 26 in Week 9, but Tracy returned to his expected lead role in Week 10. The Giants' backfield looks like it will be a running back-by-committee moving forward, with a lean toward Tracy, limiting the upside of both. With interim head coach Mike Kafka replacing Brian Daboll this week, it will be interesting to see if anything changes with how he distributes the backfield touches. Singletary could stay involved on pass downs and catch a few more checkdowns with a less mobile Jameis Winston starting for an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion) in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers. Singletary profiles as an RB4 for Sunday, making him tough to trust in any lineup outside of deeper leagues.
